Description

The Greer Agency is a gritty detective fiction presented in 15
separate, but connected stories. The reader follows the development of
private detective Mike Greer, the only PI in the Altoona, PA phone
book. It's tough to make a living in a decaying old railroad town, but
with the help of an anonymous benefactor, Greer lands some interesting
cases-cases that he solves with guts and determination. Throughout the
stories, his budding romance with Susan grows. Eventually, they realize
they are right for each other. Readers will find Mike Greer an
accessible everyman with luck, pluck, smarts and a host of interesting
friends. He finds his way into and out of problems large and small.
Greer narrates the stories in a refreshing and original voice. Each
story has its own plot and can stand on its own, but as the book
progresses, the mysteries pile up and the plots get more complex until
the explosive last story.

Praise and Reviews

5.0 out of 5 starsCrime-novel buffs will love this one., March 29, 2010

Good news for readers of detective fiction: There's a new sleuth in
town, hanging out at the greasy spoon, dishing up sardonic wisecracks,
flirting with the gum-popping waitress, poking his inquisitive nose
into a thoroughly entertaining series of noir schemes. Morgan Greer
tells us he's no great detective, just a small-town hack. But as this
thoroughly engaging story unfolds, one local sleazeball after another
discovers that Greer's a lot better than he thinks. Greer and his
creator, Harris Tobias, are savvy players in one of American
literature's classic genres.
